What to Expect After a Total Hysterectomy?

well like Karen 37 said, everybody its diferent. When I had it done was 2007. Was out of work for a week. The first day was painful, but wasn't so bad. But Igad a great team of doctors.. About the sex drive I think didn't change in my case.

I had a hysterectomy was back to work in two days but it took almost 2 months for my sister. Same dr done both.

I had a full hysterectomy back in 2014. Done roboticly. 5 weeks out, I was Zip Lining for my daughter's Birthday. Technology is so different from what it used to be. I personally had minimal pain. For myself, I can't take any estrogen supplements because I'm on Coumadin (blood thinner) the only thing for me is that I don't sleep very well.

It’s painful. I won’t lie about that but a good team will manage your pain properly. You just have to limit your movements for a few weeks or more, depending on your own system.
